'''''Desh''''' ({{lang-bn|দেশ}}) is an esteemed [[Bengali language]] literary [[magazine]] published by the [[ABP Group]] from [[India]] on the 2nd and the 17th of every month. This magazine, which is in [[publication]] since 1933, has been edited by [[Editing|editors]] like [[Sagarmoy Ghosh]] in the past. The present editor is [[Suman Sengupta]]. After the death of Sagarmoy Ghosh, ''Desh'' started publishing [[non-fiction]] articles and essays on topics of current, historical and cultural interest. Started as a weekly, it evolved into a fortnightly in more recent years. It has also drifted from being a pure literary magazine to more current affairs-oriented format.<ref>{{cite book |title= Whose news?: the media and women's issues |last= Joseph |first= Amal |author2=Kalpnan Sharma |year= 2006 |publisher= Sage Publications |location= New Delhi |isbn=0-7619-3493-6 |page= 296 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=GCAG6HKRPLQC&q=desh+magazine&pg=PA296 |access-date= 19 May 2010}}</ref> Journalist and [[Ramon Magsaysay award]] winner [[Amitabha Chowdhury]] edited the magazine for quite some time after Sagarmoy Ghosh. ''Desh'' is published from 6 Prafulla Sarkar Street, [[Kolkata]] 700 001.<br />

''Desh'' is still considered to be the best literary magazine of the Bengali-speaking [[intelligentsia]]. It is often referred to as the "''New Yorker'' of Bengal" {{citation_needed|date=June 2019}}. Almost all of the eminent authors and stalwarts of Bengali language and literature have sometimes or the other, written in ''Desh'', from Rabindranath Tagore to Satyajit Ray, [[Mahasweta Devi]], Sunil Gangopadhyay. The puja issue of ''Desh'' remains a major literary attraction in Bengali literature. The magazine, currently running in its eightieth year, is one of the oldest and heritable magazines in India.<br />
<br />
''Desh'' also has a sub-publication named ''Boier Desh'' (since 2003) where latest books in Bengali and English language are reviewed by well-known authors and critics. Boier Desh also carries with its every issue an interview of famous Bengali and International Literary personalities. ''Boier Desh'' is a quarterly magazine.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Boier desh - Desh|url=http://www.desh.co.in/boier-desh|access-date=2021-02-18|website=www.desh.co.in}}</ref><br />
